poor grad student

Somebody else posted a link to the article about Rat drug may boost sex drive in women, study finds

Said article states:
The female rats flirted more when injected with the drug

Some poor grad student had to watch these rats and figure out if they were flirting, and then record it. I don't think I want to know how you tell if a female rat is flirting. (Although I'll bet there are people on my flist who know.)

I suppose the blinking their eyes and tossing their tail in your direction isn't the clues I was told they were?

Well, how have your results been? With lady rats that have done that with you, how many have been willing to date you? Sleep with you? ;-)

I don't know, but I have to say I've heard worse things that females gotta do in the name of science.

Let's see, most recently, a female post-doc telling me about collecting rat urine... I can't even remember what for. Sometimes involved grabbing the male rat and squeezing.

Sorry, if you didn't need to hear about that, but trust me, watching rat behavior is not so bad! :-)

Is the dating scene in college so bad that the grad student would *know* how rats flirt????

Come to think of it, the dating scene in San Diego is just about that bad...........
